OVERSEAS PARTNERSHIPS


Pam Copeland and Des Bowden, as the Global Dimension Partnership, have experience in introducing groups of teachers to The Gambia and other developing countries. The Global Dimension Partnership is based on the promotion of the global dimension (DfID 2006) in primary schools and on the development of international partnerships and activities with special reference to linking with The Gambia.


The Partnership supports the goals of: • embedding the global dimension across the curriculum. • meeting the needs of pupils in a fast changing interdependent world. • improving global teaching and learning.


• establishing links and partnerships between Gambian and UK schools. • encouraging pupils to become active and responsible global citizens.


The partnership offers consultancy on embedding the Global Dimension into the curriculum, guided educational study visits and continuing school support. Many of these visits have involved UK schools linking with overseas schools.
